My best friend and I plan a yearly trip together and this year we chose Cherokee and the surrounding area. Our hotel was very clean and comfortable. The amenities were up to date and the heat worked like a charm, even with very frigid weather. We also had the opportunity to see Elk in the area and snow! Overall, the hotel experience was great!

Great stay!

The room was no frills and just what I was looking for. It was comfortable, clean, and a great place to relax while not enjoying the National Park. The staff was accommodating, allowing late check in and early (4am) check out. Only minor issue with my room is the Wifi signal was weak and erratic. I was in a room fairly far from the office (101).

Good place to lay your head

We were at the casino most of the night for New Year's. It was a good place to crash. Bed was comfy and hotel was quiet.
